TARIFF COMMISSION
DUNEDIN SITTINGS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Sept. 17. At the Tariff Commission Mr. Andres Henson Allen asked that preference be given to the products of Kockums Amaljerverk (enamelled ware) over similar products of other foreign manufacturers using wholly foreign material, one of the reasons being that Kockums ’ utensils were substantially British in origin and made almost wholly from British raw materials. Mr. Allen said that high Customs and tariffs were interrupting the natural flow of international trade and consequently were hindering economic recovery. In reply to Professor Murphy, Mr. Allen said the New Zealand tariff was a penal tariff in many respects. Witness admitted that something must be done to prevent Japan flooding not only this market but the markets of the Empire. Mr. Howard Dolomore, general manager of New Zealand Paper Mills, asked in respect to paper bags that the present rate of protection be retained. His company had been harassed by the dumping policy of Canadian mills for years and any reduction in the tariff would make the position more acute.
